Provides loan guarantees of up to 90% for moderate
income rural borrowers who might not be able to obtain credit otherwise. It allows the borrowers to obtain loans for 100%
of the appraised value of a house, thereby removing the down payment barriers that prevent
moderate income people from becoming homeowners.
